In this work, we present a novel kind of energetic particle modes with frequencies in the range of thermal ion diamagnetic and/or transit frequencies in burning plasmas. It is shown that the continuum structure can be broken by the…

We present a simple theory that uses thermodynamic parameters to predict the probability that a protein retains the wildtype structure after one or more random amino acid substitutions. Our theory predicts that for large numbers of…

We use a method based on optical coherent transients to study the vibrational coherence lifetimes of atoms trapped in the potential wells of a near-resonant optical lattice in the oscillating regime. The dependence of the positions and…

We propose a quantum heat engine composed of two superconducting transmission line resonators interacting with each other via an optomechanical-like coupling. One resonator is periodically excited by a thermal pump. The incoherently driven…

We study the spectra of emission of a system composed by an atom, tightly confined inside a high-finesse resonator, when the atom is driven by a laser and is at steady state of the cooling dynamics induced by laser and cavity field. In…
